Jon Stewart will return to 'The Daily Show' as its Monday host and executive producer. Show correspondents will host other nights of the week

After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

    Roy Wood Jr. was great for the job and they didn’t want him. Shame. But I’m glad that they caved and gave Jon Stewart more money to fix their ignorance.

      I dunno. I really like Roy Wood, Jr., but I don’t think he’d be great as host. His performance isn’t… energetic enough. His style is a bit more laid back, and I’m not sure if that’s the best fit for host of this show. I think he’s great, and an important part of the show, but whenever he hosts, it feels a bit flat.

      Just my opinion, though.

      I really liked when Charlemagne the God guest hosted. He was hilarious.
